Elizabeth A Hibler

Dr. Elizabeth A Hibler is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Preventive Medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Her research bridges cancer epidemiology and cardiovascular disease prevention, focusing on genetic variation, biomarkers, and modifiable risk factors in high-risk cancer populations.

• MPH from University of Michigan (2003)
• PhD from University of Arizona (2011)
• Postdoctoral training at University of Arizona Cancer Center (2014) and Vanderbilt University (2016)

Current research employs informatics approaches to:

• Analyze molecular risk factors, physical activity, and breast density
• Study cardiotoxicity risks in young breast cancer survivors

2023-2024 publications highlight her work on:

• Colorectal cancer genetics and diabetes comorbidities
• Cardio-oncology outcomes and GLP-1 agonist effects
• Epigenetic mechanisms in cancer prevention

Scientific Contributions:

• Recipient of Cancer and Aging Translational Bridge Award
• Developed Bright Pink risk assessment tools
• Published 37+ studies on cancer-cardiovascular intersections

Clinical Trials she leads explore DNA methylation patterns in high breast density women and cardiotoxicity prevention. Affiliated with:

• Institute for Public Health and Medicine (IPHAM)
• Simpson Querrey Institute for Epigenetics
